Chapter Ninety-Six: Choosing a Husband
In the past few days, Xia Guang has been very troubled.
Her mother, Qin Su, asked to choose a husband for her, firstly because she was too old, and secondly, because she wanted to take this opportunity to let others know that her eldest daughter had returned. It's just that the conditions for choosing a husband are a bit absurd, and the man must be in the Ji Mansion.
I thought that with my appearance, and the previous rumors, there should not be many people, but I didn't expect that there would still be more than a dozen portraits sent into the Luobin courtyard every day, what tall, short, fat and thin, what suave, what full of economy, what rich and noble, and even some sons of the family.
It is estimated that it was all because of Qu Lisheng's marriage back then.
"You show people that marriage is easy, and in the end, you didn't hurt yourself?"
Xia Guang hastily looked at the portrait in his hand, and he didn't even see what the other party looked like, so he threw it aside.
Holding his chin and thinking: if only his portrait were here, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
Thinking so preoccupied that someone came in and didn't even know it.
"Qi'er, have you chosen someone today?"
Qin Suwen was just a daily question, but who knew that she actually pointed to the portrait that she had just put aside. "Hmm."
Although Qin Suwen couldn't see, his hearing was still fine, and he said happily: "Bang'er, take a look." ”
Ji Bangsha looked at Xia Guang, who was not reluctant, and asked her to react yet, so she picked up the portrait and looked at it carefully, and finally looked embarrassed: "This person's appearance and background are good, but this body doesn't seem to be very good, I ...... it."
"It's okay, your eldest sister is willing." These portraits have been screened, so how can there be a problem?
When Xia Guang came back to his senses, what he heard was the last sentence. She hurriedly explained, "No, that's not." ”
"Mother knows that you are shy, it's okay, leave it to Mother." Qin Suwen was so happy that she misinterpreted Xia Guang's words.
"I ......"
"Mother will arrange it right away."
After speaking, Qin Su asked Ji Bangsha to help her out.
Xia Guang patted his forehead, "It's really not." ”
The maid who served her immediately patted her on the back and said, "Miss, your vision is really good, and that son is also very good. ”
Xia Guang sneered at his teeth, "Hehe, I don't know what he looks like." ”
The maid, then I knew that there was an oolong, stuck out my tongue, and hurriedly found an excuse to run out.
Forget it, it's rare for Qin Suwen to smile so happily, let's let this matter go for a while. The most important thing now is to meet the old lady.
"It would be nice if my senior brother or he was here now." Xia Guang looked at the direction of the old lady's courtyard and said expectantly.
******
Within half a day, the news that the eldest lady was going to marry not long after Ji Fu came back had spread throughout the city, but Xia Guang couldn't do anything.
Xia Guang looked at the black and thin man standing at the door, and then looked at the letter in her hand, she was a little hesitant.
"Qu Lisheng asked you to come?"
The big man nodded, but just didn't speak.
Xia Guang nodded, as if he agreed, "Light skills should be not bad, Qu Lisheng." ”
The big man looked at her with a puzzled face, as if he didn't understand, but there was a slight heaval in the cuff of his right hand.
Xia Guang has been paying attention to his right hand, so naturally he didn't miss it. She blinked, looked at him sincerely, smiled, and shouted, "Ink." ”
The big man seemed to have something about to rush out of his cuffs, but the rest was pricked. The thing was about to go up to his shoulder, but the big man was defeated, and finally spoke: "It's me, but it's not him." ”
Dahan took off the human skin mask on his face, "This thing is really uncomfortable to carry." ”
"How are you?" Xia Guang looked at the person in front of him in surprise and embarrassment,
"Why can't it be me?" Xuanyuan Qinglong asked rhetorically.
Xia Guang was speechless, when the senior brother found her that day, he said that he had seen Qu Lisheng's figure, so he dared to let her go alone in the Ji Mansion. She thought it was Qu Lisheng just now, but now that she thinks about it, she won't do such a boring thing with his temperament.
Until Xuanyuan Qinglong pulled the tightly tied cuffs apart, the ink that was constantly struggling inside slipped out, and then raised his little head, as if he was complaining about something.
Xia Guang nodded her little head, and Mo climbed onto her hand. Why did he give her back the ink? It seems that she heard what the master said to her. If so, "what about him?" ”
"Left." Xuanyuan Qinglong shrugged his shoulders, in order to prevent her from turning the topic around Qu Lisheng all the time, he pointed at her and quipped: "It's you, I haven't seen you for a while, and you have a marriage contract with someone." ”
Xia Guang saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't pursue it anymore, but became curious about his words, "Haven't you seen him for a while?" Three years is not a while. ”
"It's true." Xuanyuan Qinglong smiled and shook the mask in his hand, "My face is too good at causing trouble, so I learned some fur." ”
That makes sense.
Xia Guang nodded clearly, and then said, "He removed your official position, you don't hate him, but now you still help him?" ”
Xuanyuan Qinglong shook his head, "The word 'hate' is not for us. In the past few years, I have also figured it out, and I just complain about him. Back then, Qing Shui and Ji Bangsha were in love, but they were afraid that they would be idle, so they kept it hidden, and I was blinded because of my idleness, until I was discovered by Qu Lisheng, so there was that marriage. That's just a contradictory lead in advance. As for removing me from office, I think it's fine, you know, there's no point in staying there anymore. ”
Xia Guang knew what he meant, but he didn't want to say it, and suddenly remembered the flower garden he built for Su Yixian, "What about that flower garden?" ”
"Well, I'll ask Qing Shui to take care of it for me, and I'll go back to see it occasionally."
The two talked for a while about the past and what had happened in the past three years, from the beginning of the question and answer to the final conversation, which invisibly broke the embarrassment between the two.
"Since you're here to protect me, do me a favor tonight." Xia Guang said politely.
"You want to go to the old woman?" Xuanyuan Qinglong still understood, after all, before Qu Lisheng left, he told him that he must not let her get close there.
"Uh-huh, do you want to go?" Xia Guang crossed his hands on his chest and raised his eyebrows to look at him.
"But if someone finds out, he will lose his temper when he comes back." Xuanyuan Qinglong touched his chin in embarrassment, his face was full of reluctance, as if Xia Guang was forcing him to do something he shouldn't do, although it did seem to be unusual.
"I'll take care of anything." Xia Guang didn't know about his carefulness. Obviously curious to death, but hard-mouthed.
"That's going to be easy." Xuanyuan Qinglong clasped his hands together, looking excited, where was the embarrassment just now. "When the time comes, I'll say that you forced me, and I didn't pick you up."
Seeing his demented appearance, something suddenly flashed out of Xia Guang's mind, similar to a brush, but not a brush, but a pen that can record what others say.
I thought to myself that I really wanted to record his words, but my mouth said, "As long as you can take me there, you can say anything." ”
